That view of data ownership is _highly_ jurisdiction dependent and is not the overwhelming norm in the US.

They're invoking a right they do not in fact have under CCPA. Flock is a service provider under CCPA, and isn't required to respond to their request so long as they're operating under the terms of their contract with the municipality (which is, in turn, exempt from CCPA.)
